Easy French Pin Tutorial ❤️ French Twist, Updo & Half Up Hairstyles

I am so excited to share today’s hair tutorial, which is 3 easy hairstyles with French pins. These French pin hairstyles are perfect for anyone with medium – long hair, and the beauty of the hair pin makes these hairstyles perfect as a bridal, prom, or wedding guest hairstyle. The first hairstyle will always be a favourite of mine, a simple French twist hairstyle. The second, is a beautiful half-up half-down hairstyle and lastly, a cute and quick updo hairstyle. All of these hairstyles are secured with a French pin, but if you need added security, you can always add a few bobby pins, or French pins for added hold.
